We needed to get from Adelaide to Melbourne. There are plenty of flight, but the scenery is so spectacular, that we chose to take a 3-day bus tour. There seemed to be two sorts of options: luxurious splendour with blue-rinsed travelling companions, or rough and tumble fun with the backpackers. Easy choice – so we hopped on the Groovy Grape tour with a motley mix of miscellaneous tourists (including the Escobars from Columbia, who were very nice once you got to know them…). First stop was the Grampians National Park…full of jagged sandstone ridges and pretty waterfalls.
We stopped for lunch along the way, and stumbled across an “historic culvert”. No sign detailed what it was (is, or will be), but we posed for a picture…which I’m sure is the ONLY reason it’s there. The pictures are here
